A lithograph prepared from a drawing made on Paper rather than Stone. The drawing is placed face down on the lithographic stone and transferred. The lithograph is made in the usual way, although the final image is not reversed from the original drawing. Transfer lithographic methods were popular in the late 19th century, but the technique was described by Senefelder as early as 1819.
